About this listen

In this episode, I’m joined by Matt Graham, founder of MBSLive.net and writer for Mortgage News Daily, to unpack what’s driving interest rates today.We discuss:

  • Why the Fed doesn’t directly control mortgage rates
  • The relationship between Treasuries, inflation, and mortgage-backed securities
  • What the “spread” between mortgage rates and the 10-year Treasury really means
  • Whether the new 50-year mortgage is a smart idea (or a costly mistake)
